Faith Facts
- Papua New Guinea celebrated National Repentance Day on August 26, 2025, with prayer and worship gatherings nationwide.

Across Papua New Guinea, Christians united in prayer at dawn for National Repentance Day, highlighting the nation’s commitment to its Christian roots.
Worshippers donned the country’s colors, prayed for healing, and listened to calls for faith-driven change.
“Repentance is a way of life, acknowledging God as the source of our life, our country and our very existence, yet the way we live as a nation does not reflect that we have truly repented or changed our way of life,” said Rev. Dr. Jack Urame.
Leaders were encouraged to demonstrate integrity and humility, ending dishonesty and promoting service rooted in Christian values.
Pastors from various churches exhorted the people to pursue reconciliation and to let faith guide actions for lasting change.
“Repentance is not a one-time act but a way of life, and it must be reflected in the way we live every day,” Urame stated.
This sacred day is a reminder that godly transformation begins in the heart and radiates outward, reviving both individuals and society.
Let us continue to pray for Papua New Guinea, and for every nation, to walk steadfastly in faith, repentance, and righteousness before the Lord.
